Data Mining ?

[Arasine]

Several reviews state this game has malware and data mining included in the download.
Any evidence ?

Then you literally havent played enough games.

BG3
COD
Dark Matter
Armored Core 6
DS3 and DS2

those are all examples off the top of my head that had misplaced files which allowed users to datamine the game.

i think its more that there are two files that are now kinda random startup programs that come with the game, instead of being isolated to the rest of the program files folder

Do you know what else requires admin rights? The use of your webcam. There are 50 games I could mention that required admin rights and you just breezed past.

Also yes I did monitor it with Network Packet Sniffer and looking at Registry Edits. Nothing Sus.

If you have EA, ubisoft, et all launchers, they’re running in admin mode

Imo theres nothing that this game could do that microsoft, meta, apple, et all havent already done, and are still in lawsuits for

That's a shame but this being a chineese company, I'm hardly surprised.. I had this game on my wishlist, didn't even know the game was owned by a chineese privite company, thank god for the reviews eh!! Community warned us, better stay away from this game!

First of all, I don't understand why the game on their official page doesn't have a contact and in steam you can't access the support for more details? I found the file that does not belong to the game, I deleted it, I entered the game, but the game crashed, it remains blocked, but it runs, but with CUP at 26%, not at 80%

[Gogu]

And the problem with CUP in 80% is a big question mark, that is, with liquid cooling for 3 days, the CUP is in 75-80 degrees, it is a huge problem, while in dayz or rust with the details at maximum, it is 45-55 degrees, which is a difference giant

Strange, mine is 45°c with just air cooling... and 30-40% usage

[Gogu]

I also heard this because I have a lot of friends I play with and two of them get 45% and the rest 70-90%

It's funny all the people saying that its not a problem and you shouldn't worry about it have new accounts that are set on private... chinese bot accounts maybe? I think so! Also the cut and copy msgs they use, the fact that more chinese people use steam forums and reviews no a days that I highly doubt any of you saying its fine live outside of Asia. The game does ping some odd servers, the game does use weird files and netease is famous for funneling data to CCP. its common knowledge at this point, not to mention this game will be on our cellphones soon and YOU BET YOUR LAST DOLLAR they will track EVERYTHING they can just like tiktok OPENLY tracks.

To preface, you're comparing apples to oranges. Those are launchers, not games. EA, Ubisoft, AND Steam need Admin perms for installing prerequisites. Typically .NET runtimes, anti-cheat such as BattleEye, and whatnot. Steam does it well because it only asks on install and is a temporary elevation. Other launchers could do a better job and match that, but I digress. The difference is that a GAME should not need admin permissions. Full stop. There may be nothing nefarious now, but what's stopping them from including something in one of the in-game updates they push out every few days and doing whatever it wants because it has full admin access?

My profile is freely visible, and I've addressed this issue a few times now.

I do hope this helps, but here's a link containing a post I wrote regarding this.

people without a clue tell you stuff about things they have no clue about... Steam reviews in short. When it comes to ToS it's even worse.

I read the privacy policy and it actually doesn't say they are taking your info, it says if you give it to them by binding those accounts to the game then they will have your info, so do not bind your accounts and they dont have your info... its simple as that really.
